Luk 15:15. Τῶν πολιτῶν, of the citizens) although he did not himself become a citizen of that country. The man, whom a return to sound propriety of character is awaiting (is in store for), often, even in the midst of his wanderings (Joh 11:52, “The children of God-scattered abroad”), retains a something which distinguishes him from the ordinary (those who are distinctively and peculiarly) citizens of the world.-ἔπεμψεν, sent) A great indignity done to him.-χοίρους, swine) A mean condition of life, especially according to Jewish notions [of swine being ‘unclean’ animals].
